Move over Barack Obama and John McCain, there's a new presidential nominee in the running – "fake" nominee that is.

Paris Hilton, in her latest FunnyorDie video clip, confers with "one of the greatest fake presidents," Martin Sheen, who played President Bartlet on The West Wing, as she herself runs for "fake president."

While the two sit in a kitchen discussing politics, Hilton admits to Sheen that "running for fake president is a little daunting."

So what about the issues, Paris? "I plan to bring a fake balance approach to these real problems. For example, Fo-Po," she says.

A puzzled Sheen asks, "What is Fo-Po?"

"Foreign Policy, silly!" Hilton exclaims, before Sheen responds: "Of course BF! I should have known that one."

Martin Sheen Attacks Rumors About Charlie

Originally posted 03/23/2005 08:00AM

DEFENDED: Parents Martin and Janet Sheen tell Entertainment Tonight they will not permit tabloid rumors about their son Charlie Sheen to go unanswered. "We cannot remain silent during what appears to be a ruthless and savage attack by the media on Charlie's character. To imply that he is in any way regressing to the behavior that cost him so dearly and almost ended his life just seven years ago is not only the lowest form of journalism, but sinks to the level of defamation." Sheen's wife, Denise Richards, filed for divorce last month, causing speculation over why the marriage was ending while Richards is seven months pregnant with their second child. Added the elder Sheen: "What happens between two people in a relationship or marriage is so private and deeply personal that it is not possible for anyone outside to truly understand or judge responsibly."

Alicia Keys's New Friendship

Originally posted 05/04/2004 9:00AM

It's no surprise that Alicia Keys and jazz trumpet master Arturo Sandoval got a standing ovation after playing her song "If I Ain't Got You" at the Billboard Latin Music Awards last week – especially since their newfound friendship added to their onstage chemistry. Keys and Sandoval first met during the show's rehearsal in Miami, then spent the following day together at Sandoval's Coral Gables home, where his wife, Marianela, cooked traditional Cuban food for the singer-songwriter and her entourage, including black beans, rice, yucca, chicken, pork, mojitos and flan. Keys, who doesn't eat chicken or pork, feasted on a plate of rice and beans and a tuna salad that Marianela prepared especially for her, then listened while Sandoval played piano. After the awards show, all went to dinner together at Nobu at the Shore Club in South Beach.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Whither Evan and Zora?

Originally posted 02/21/2003 11:00AM

'JOE' BLOW: Just days after Evan Marriott picked Zora Andrich to share his life -- and a $1 million check -- there are rumblings that all is not well in the land of FOX's "Joe Millionaire." "Is it possible to find true love in just a month with someone?" Andrich, 29, tells this week's PEOPLE. "I never rule out anything. But honestly, I think it would be highly unlikely." Marriott, 28, meanwhile, says he was turned off by Andrich's seeming lack of appreciation for her surprise $500,000 windfall, and goes on to talk about the woman he didn't choose, Sarah Kozer, 29. "(We) got along like gangbusters," he says, "better than a lot of ex-girlfriends I've had."
